  • Propaganda & Language
    21 April 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    Anyone who engaged in the act of masochism that was sitting through Blair’s recent performance on the BBC’s Politics Show, where he talked about how his “legacy” will “stand the test of time”, will probably not be surprised to learn that a survey of national opinion, published last week, shows the overwhelming majority of the British public think that the Prime Minister is “out of touch” and “too concerned with spin”. In fact, the report (described by the Guardian as “Britain’s damning (…)

  • American Suicide Note

    In thinking about what I ought to tell you regarding these dark days various clichés come to mind: I see no light at the end of the tunnel. The American dream is a nightmare. The American experiment failed. Pride precedeth the fall.
    To witness the death of our representative form of government is to feel some of the stages of grief identified by Dr. Kubler-Ross in her landmark study: disbelief, anger, despair… acceptance.
    I found it unbelievable that our republic would spill out into the (…)

    Everywhere you look the infrastructure, once sound, well built and highly functional...is falling apart at the seams.
    Each night hundreds of thousands of children go to be hungry, and the numbers of poor and suffering swell with each passing day.
    There are severe air quality problems throughout the country, and new diseases seem to pop up each week! Reports keep flooding into the government agencies about outbreaks of plague and other serious life threatening illnesses.

    Do Iraqis equate President Bush to Cho Seung-Hui? By Mary MacElveen April 18, 2007
    As President Bush spoke to those gathered at Blacksburgh, Virginia after the loss of 33 lives including the life of Cho Seung-Hui’s, he made these striking remarks, “Yesterday began like any other day. Students woke up, and they grabbed their backpacks and they headed for class. And soon the day took a dark turn, with students and faculty barricading themselves in classrooms and dormitories — confused, (…)

    “No one can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.” - Edward R. Murrow
    Westminister, MD - Helen Thomas was a speaker at the Forum at McDaniel College, on April 12, 2007. The school couldn’t have chosen better! Ms. Thomas is a veteran White House reporter and she was in top form before an appreciative and overflow audience. With respect to the Iraqi War, she asked: “What is victory and what is defeat? You might try to remember that it is their country. The President’s (…)

  • The Great 911 Deception & its Reptilian Effect
    18 April 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    In their nightmare plans for the future of humanity, 911 was meant to be a symbolic act of terror, a gateway into the nether world of humanity’s knee-jerk, flight or fight, reptilian mind. A mind not based in reality but in fear and negative emotion.
    About a month before the US Presidential elections in 2000 I had an overwhelming sensation of a huge cloud of evil enveloping humanity. In my mind’s eye I saw a bottomless black pit into which this evil would drag us down to imprison and (…)

    Looks like he’s reached his boiling point.
    Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), the most liberal of the Democratic presidential candidates in the primary field, declared in a letter sent to his Democratic House colleagues this morning that he plans to file articles of impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney.
    Kucinich has made ending the war in Iraq the central theme of his campaign. He has even taken aim at the leading Democratic presidential candidates in the field for their votes on (…)

  • "Shared Values"?

    Yesterday, Gordon (he does that funny thing with his mouth like a frog) Brown, Britain’s Blair-in-waiting, got to meet that guy doing an illegal squat at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Naturally, the BBC made a big thing about it, speculating on its significance and timing.
    Frogface is interviewed during which he emphasises the "special values" shared between the two countries. Given the widespread anger and disenchantment that the average Brit feels for the Blair-Brown oligarchy and its (…)

    In the months leading up to President Bush’s ill-fated invasion of Iraq, I traveled around the world speaking to various international groups, including many parliamentary assemblies. I spoke about democracy and the need of any nation or group of nations espousing democracy as a standard to embrace the ideals and values of justice and due process in accordance with the rule of law. I spoke of international law, especially as it was manifested in the charter of the United (…)

    Voice of the White House April 12, 2007 TBR News.org – April 12, 2007
    “I have two subject to deal with today. The first is the completely disastrous military situation in Iraq and the second deals with deliberately poisoned food in the United States. In the first matter, it will soon be public that Bush is going to extend the tours of duty for troops to 15 months or, with some clever interpretation of the rules, to 20 months.
    In addition to these draconian measures, be advised that a (…)
